Had so much fun at Cake Picnic today, what a perfect day for inspiring sweet treats and great vibes ☀️

Dulu Deli Pandan Party Cake
> Pandan ricotta sponge, pandan kaya, pandan buttercream and coconut rainbow jelly

I don’t bake as often these days with a little bub on the move, so this event was a great excuse to experiment and try something new. Also lots of fun with piping some squiggly buttercream!

Credits to recipe book - the ricotta cake and buttercream was perfect for making ahead ✨

Here are snippets of the many inspiring cakes and great picnic vibes from today x

Final few days of Pandan Kaya ice cream before it runs out! 💚🤎💚

Don’t say we didn’t let you know 😉

Might I also suggest to go to Reservoir for shorter queues?

Ps: Loving their apricot jasmine tea too!

DELICIOUS. ICE CREAM.

Now scooping at - Dulu Deli kaya rippled in real pandan ice cream, mixed with coconut crumb and dessicated coconut ✨

We are so grateful for the support and trust given from the friendly team at Luther’s Scoop. To have our kaya featured in their seasonal special is just a dream come true!

The Pandan Kaya ice cream special is a must try, along with their many other epic ice cream flavours! (One scoop is never enough!)

Back from maternity leave ✨👋🏼

As one step leads to another, Dulu Deli is moving our kaya production into a commercial kitchen! It just felt like the natural progression for our home based business, thanks to growing support of our loyal customers and stockists over the years.

Being a mum truly shifts my priorities - freeing up the home kitchen for family life and for bubs to eventually crawl about and explore. At the same time, I also want to (sustainably) continue on the legacy of kaya making so that a piece of my Malaysian heritage lives on for bubs to cherish and to continue bringing kaya goodness on your toasts and desserts for years to come 🌴🍞🥥

After several years from humble beginnings in a one bedroom Fitzroy apartment and eventually our home in Reservoir, it feels like the right time to take this leap into a commercial kitchen.

We are excited about the opportunities this brings for collaborating with other food businesses and stockists, by being in a space that can scale up production as opposed to more frequent production days at home! (Thankful for my husband who had to be patient over the years to finally have back a calmer home kitchen on weekends ha!)

Our hearts are truly filled with gratitude for all your support 🤎💚 at Dulu Deli, our kaya is handmade with lots of love and care the traditional way for you to keep enjoying flavours from my grandparents time.

Swipe for a walk down memory lane of humble beginnings in our home kitchen 🥰

Kaya goodness available in our full sized jars ✨🍞

Each jar gives 20-25 serves and lasts months so you can slowly savour and share it with others (or keep it your little secret!) 😋

For those who are new to our kaya, we’d love to share what makes it so special. A simple trio of free range duck eggs, coconut cream and sugar are used.

Why duck eggs? Our grandparents used to use it, creating a less eggy, extra glossy spread!

Each batch is handmade and stirred over 5-6 hours so it caramelises, evenly thickens & evaporates away any moisture - making it naturally self preserving.

At Dulu Deli, we are honoured to keep the tradition of kaya going 🌴🥥✨

For this year’s Mother’s Day, the deli is inspired by mothers and their generous spirit.

We are fundraising to help in a small way, those going through tough times 🙏🏻

Good morning towels are tea towels often slung across shoulders of experienced baristas in kopitiams, which are traditional coffee houses found in Malaysia and Singapore! It’s such a goodie to have the household - a sense of nostalgia to many x

There are only a handful of boxes available from our small kitchen, so do pre-order ahead to surprise the mother figure in your life 💕

On Mother’s Day Sunday, 14th May your order can be picked up from Reservoir or delivered to your doorstep for an extra fee (within 15km from Melb CBD only)

Pondering on how special it is to be a woman on International Women’s Day. Not to forget all the wonderful ladies in my life continuously creating cracks in those glass ceilings x

Running the deli business while juggling a day job in architecture as a woman is not easy …however I find overcoming it’s challenges rewarding. I learn more of what it means to be a woman everyday.

Every now and then I get doubts in my mind ..

Do I have to abandon my nurturing side for decision making in this kaya specialty business? Should I beat myself when I can’t reach targets?

Do I have to deepen my voice and speak in a manly tone on construction sites to be taken seriously?

Over time, I am starting to realise that our unique traits are our strength. We don’t have to block off our emotions nor have a masculine presence to be successful. We can run this race and forge paths in our own way, using our own set of strengths and offer a fresh point of view.

I truly am grateful to be in a time where doors are starting to open for women in many parts of the world. This new territory is never easy - but to our best human ability and with support of loved ones, us women can stand calm and confident as we work towards equality
